Remove the word UBUNTU from boot menu


I have triple boot Win Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate and Win 7 Beta, and I tried installing Ubuntu from WUBI installer wich I did managed to install after having try 3 times. Now I want to remove this Ubuntu words from the Window Vista Boot menu loader. Maybe I need to Modify the boot.ini or boot manager or something like it. i don't know how can I do it the right way. My pc is Gateway with Intel q6600 processor, 3GB DDR2 memory, 750GB Seagate 7200rpm, DVD/CDRW Rom Tsst Corp, CDRW-Rom drive. I will appreciate any help. By the way this is my first post in this forum I like to take this moment to say Hello to every member here

I don't know about Vista, but with XP Wubi can be removed, including the boot menu entry, via the Add/Remove program in Control Panel.

In windows XP follow the steps Go to properties of My Computer->Advanced->In Start Up & Recovery click Settings->Click Edit. This will open the Boot.ini file in notepad, Make ur changes(just delete the line representing the installer) and save. Don't forget to take a backup of that file before editing. I think this will be the same in Vista too (I hadn't tried with Vista)
